Patrick and Heather arrive at Wes Craven's final film.

Wes Craven: Master of Reinvention, Reimaginings and Remakes (Sort Of)

by Heather Wixson

While no easy feat, Wes Craven was a director who was able to reinvent the horror genre on two different occasions during his career – the first time with A Nightmare on Elm Street and then again in 1996 with Scream.

F This Movie! - Scream 4

Patrick and JB saw Scream 4 (or SCRE4M if you're a douche) on opening night so you don't have to. Hear them stab it, slice it open and see what its insides look like. There are no spoilers until the end, and there's a whole bunch of warnings before anything is given away. And a sound effect.

On one hand, I should love this movie. It stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogan, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, Jo Lo Truglio, David Koechner, Jeffrey Tambor and Gilbert Gottfried (Dracula/Dice/Groucho!). It's also directed by the guy who gave us Superbad and Adventureland. On the other hand, it doesn't look very good! I hope I'm wrong! Please be good!

I really wanted to see Scream 4. Then I saw this trailer.

Battle: Los Angeles
Release date: March 11, 2011



I was going to include the full-length trailer for this movie (you can see it here), but the teaser trailer (above) is SO much cooler. Perhaps it's because I'm a boy trapped inside a slightly smaller boy's body, but I thought this looked way rad. I'm also a sucker for effective/obscure songs in previews, and "The Sun's Gone Dim and the Sky Turned Black," by Icelandic musician Johann Johannsson fits the bill (see also: "Creep" by Scala and Kolacny Brothers).
